A Stranger's Wish by Gayle Roper

5.0

This was a wonderful book, I would suggest this book to be a first to a new reader of Amish lit because it's a very light read and doesn't give mystism about their culture but a very real perspective. I have read a lot of Amish tales that have me at one moment believe that I to should be Amish. They make me feel like an awful Christan. This book clearly marks the very real diffrences between old order Amish (non belief of Jesus as the savior) New order Amish ( those who believe Jesus is the savior but still think works over grace to redeem salvation) When you first learning about the Amish culture it's so beautiful and sweet and you think it's lacking in all the junk the moderm world brings in but this book shows you how Amish or not we are all still people. There are Amish people who live their lives never understanding a true relationship and yurning to be with Jesus just as their are in own churches. The little mystery at the end will have you drawn to a sweet old man and have you hate him in an instant.
